Harcourt Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, BH5

This substantial detached house presents an excellent opportunity to update and modernise a period home to taste.

Built around 1900 the property offers a huge amount of its original character boasting high ceilings, a grand hallway/landing, and many original features.

Our clients purchased the property in relatively recent years and commenced a schedule of repairs. Taking most rooms back to brickwork, rewiring the property throughout, installing modern electric heating, and replastering some rooms.

However, a change in circumstance has seen our clients’ needs change and the property is therefore offered as an ongoing project ready for new owners to complete.

Entering the property a large L-shaped hallway leads to two generous reception rooms overlooking the front of property and the kitchen which is set to the rear of property and in turn leads to the homes 3rd reception room.

To the rear of the kitchen a lean to gives garden access and leads to an original outbuilding providing storage.

Our clients have also obtained planning permission to demolish the rear outbuildings and extend off the kitchen to the rear, giving purchasers an even great opportunity.

A grand staircase with half landing and a large window over leads up to the first floor where an impressive landing leads to four bedrooms, all of which make for great double rooms. There is also a shower room with an adjacent WC which could be updated or 'knocked through' to create a large family bathroom.

Outside, frontage is enclosed by low level brick walling and a pathway leads to the rear. The property also benefits from a gated side driveway which leads to the rear where there are twin garages. (NB The neighbouring home has a pedestrian right of access across the drive to access their rear garden and storage garage).

The enclosed rear garden is in need of landscaping offering plentiful scope to design and create the ideal outside space.

A home with huge potential and character, if you are searching for a project it is an absolute must see.
